When It's Too Late

I had a friend betray me this way before. I told her that I really liked a guy, and she dated him anyway. I know that there are girl out there who have been through this before. This song is written for all of us girls who have felt this way.

Blond hair and brown eyes, She looks a little like me. But there can not be lies. She's better than I can be.

I'll never be that thin. I'll never be that pretty. And a problem lies within. All he'll give me is simple pity.

When it's too late to tell me That you didn't mean too. When it's too late to show me That he wanted me too. When it's too late To bring me back from the dark. When it's too late To fix my broken heart.

I see the way that he looks. I see the way that you are. I sit back and write the books. To tell how life gets so hard.

Your face is in his head, Because you charmed you way there. And my heart is now dead, You see what you did isn't fair.

I told you that I loved him. Somehow I think you forgot. Now that my life it broken, Don't get mad at me because we fought.

When it's too late to tell me That you didn't mean too. When it's too late to show me That he wanted me too. When it's too late To bring me back from the dark. When it's too late To fix my broken heart.

I trusted you, but spoke too soon. Now I see who you really are. I guess to others' pain you are immune. But he can't see all that far.

He's such a great guy, my best friend. But a heart so broken as his, Will now chose the wrong girl till the end. Such a good person does not deserve this.

Now you're gonna hate me forever. But girl you held his hand in front of me. And I know that I'll be with him never. But at least I can protect and help him see.

When it's loo late to tell us That we didn't mean to . When it's too late to show us That he wanted you too. When it's loo late To bring us back from the dark. When it's too late To fix our broken hearts...
